Mr. Scot

Just reviewed some stuff from Albert Breer. Breer puts us "solidly in" the discussion, though he notes we're one of seven teams talking to the Lions right now. Said Lions brass was in Mobile this week and a lot of talk went on down there. One thing that caught my attention: he takes the idea of Stafford going to the Panthers more seriously than he does him going to the Rams or the 49ers. That made me

Teddy being part of the deal seems like a legit possibility given that Dan Campbell would be pretty familiar with him. Probably not as a starter though.

His skill set is honestly ideal for what we run. I don't really think he's a bridge either. Most analysts think he's got at least four or five years left in him.

I would say this... The fact that we're reported to be in the discussion at what would now be a late stage in things given the news that we've heard would tell me it wasn't just a preliminary inquiry. The interest sure sounds genuine.

I feel like the people that came out of this with the most notice would be Michael Carter, Dez Fitzpatrick and Sam Ehlinger.

Reese cups?

This comes on the heels of the report where Dan Campbell said the talks were "heating up" and it's expected a deal's gonna get done this week. I still don't think he ends up here but you never know.

Touchdown but damn that wasn't such a great throw.

Jeremiah was saying that he was the best offensive lineman in practice all week.

Sweet Caroline?

Just posted something on that, actually. Joe Person confirmed that we've been talking to the Lions about him.

Pretty sure he did that draft before a lot of the more recent developments. I'm guessing there'll be a fair number of changes in his next one.

From what I read, Leatherwood didn't have the greatest practice week either.

Only with a lower round pick. He's way too inconsistent to go high.

Wouldn't that also include the punter?

How many times have they turned it over on downs this game?

I didn't catch his name but the punt team was sitting out there waiting and looking annoyed till this guy suddenly ran out and joined the formation.

It's a riff on his name.

Sitting on the sideline with your thumb up your ass while everybody out on the field is waiting for you? That's not an impression you want to make it a game like this.

Was watching him trying to get things set up at the line and felt like he looked confused. Seemed like it was taking too long.

I've heard it said that he has a particular set of skills.

Tepper has specifically stated that he's not a talent evaluator and he's not going to try to be.

Kyle Smith is the guy who was previously doing all the GM duties without the title but wasn't given serious consideration for the actual job. He's since left for a personnel executive position with the Falcons.

Lord, what an awful throw.
